I'm ashamed to say this album has been collecting dust for quite some time now. I remember setting it up with all the best intentions, I even ploughed through those fussy tables, but unfortunately a combination of busy schedule and irrational perfectionism have left this album very… empty.

Well that’s all about to change. After a bit of a pep talk from a good friend and seeing all the stunning updates cropping up recently, I’m going to jump right in and scrap the “plan”.

To kick things off I’m going to cheat. Well only a little bit. These shots have already debuted over on our sister site for the breeders showcase in February… February! Apologies if you’ve already seen these, but they give me the chance to showcase a couple of my “newish” horses, and get something in this thing.

If you’ve stuck with me this far, here are my entries for the Ariès Annual Breeders Showcase.

Phew! Well that was hard work, must get used to this new format. I have other things knocking about and I will try to get to them asap, but I've found setting deadlines takes all the fun out of updating, so I'm shooting for casual for the time being. Thanks for stopping by!

YES! Finallly! I love your layout, btw and font you're using for your topic header :>
And even though I have seen these pictures already back in february, I still love them. Especially Vitalis' one It was one of my favorites of the breeder show (and yes, you guess it, I voted for it!). I hope you spoil us with more pretty pictures (I love the softness of the colors and your horses are phenomenal) but take your time. No need to rush (just don't take too long, m'kay?) but please don't leave us hanging

I have to be somewhere very soon but I can't see this and not say something so:

Congratulations on kicking irrational perfectionism (which is actually just normal perfectionism) to the curb long enough to post!! To scrap with the plans!! (It's better without them anyway, right? ) And it's not cheating if you're already done the work! Hooray for progress!!
Seriously, now: I did see these during the Aries show but it's a pleasure to see them again, each of the photographs are flawless. I was really impressed by the outdoor set you built when I first saw them and I still am; I love the palpable liveliness and energy in the picture of Vitalis, and Bedlams's entry makes me smile- his tail on the ground, the dust in the air, and the priceless expressions on Rory & Delphi's faces.

Must dash, but here's to hopefully-less-busy summer schedules, future updates, casual deadlines, and to you. I'm bursting with excitement at the prospect of a deeper look into Kinnvara. C:

Edit: I was looking and looking and couldn't put my finger on it but now I JUST WORKED OUT WHY THE HEADER FONT LOOKS FAMILIAR good job Ariadne, you bright spark

So happy to see your beautiful pics here at last and just as perfect as always. Your pics always leave me open-mouthed with awe - they're so beautiful and crisp, yet so simple, which makes them stunning.

Ah so glad this was was finally posted!! Your editing style is seriously just amazing! Its got a lovely soft quality about it! Love love love!! Cant wait for more! Also, the 'sales list' are we able to message you about applying?

Thank you so much for the encouragement guys, sorry I don't have time to do individual replies, but your words mean so much to me so sending massive hugs and kisses.

I pushed through and managed to edit a couple more entries for another show. This time the Kinnvara team packed up and flew across the pond to compete in New Jersey. Updates may be a little slow from me for a while as RL is proving surprisingly demanding, but I still have some things in store it's just finding the time to post them. So, without further ado, here's Rose and Zoe competing.

Zoe and Siren
Rose and Greysea

Sorry this was brief and I don't have more for you, but I really am struggling for time. Thanks for stopping in!

Both these entries are amazing! the second is my favourite of the two because I love the colours, angle and pose you've used, it just looks so dynamic (also, hello little nessie!). I love Sirens face in the first picture, but I'm totally in love with Greysea, she's that stormy shade of grey that I just love.

Absolutely love the colors and scenery in your entries! There's just something about bays in hunter green that looks so classy. The little details in your cross country entry are perfect. I love the sea monster figure in the corner.
